We're in Gresford, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is Clydesdale , and our solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I am assisting my step-mother sell her house in Gresford. Will the conveyancing solicitor order an energy assessment or it is for me to see to?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a mandatory part of selling a property. An EPC must be to hand prior to the property being put on the market. This is not a task that solicitors normally organise. If you are using a Gresford conveyancing solicitor they may be willing to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with reputable local providers
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Coventry BS are being difficult. The Gresford solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Coventry BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Gresford property lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

What advice can you give us when it comes to choosing a Gresford conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
When appointing a property lawyer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Gresford conveyancing practice) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We suggest that you speak with two or three firms including non Gresford conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions might be useful:

Does the lease have onerous restrictions? You should be aware that where the lease has less than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the value of the flat. It is worth checking with your bank that they are content with the length of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely require a lease extension at some point and it is worth discovering what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will be required to have been the owner of the premises for 24 months in order to be eligible to exercise a lease extension. Who manages the block?
